Where do I go for problems with End Note?

Installation Problems

If EndNote will not install on your computer, follow these steps to troubleshoot your problem.

  1. If the CD is not recognized by your computer, it’s possible that the CD has errors or is damaged. It should be tested on multiple computers with working CD-ROM drives to see if any computer is able to read the disk.
    • If the disk still can’t be read, the CD is most likely non-functional and needs to be replaced. Talk to the person or vendor who supplied the disk(s).
    • If the disk can be read by other computers, it’s most likely a hardware problem with your CD-ROM drive. Call the UW Oshkosh Help Desk at 920-424-3020 for assistance diagnosing the problem.
